New York: Fashion Celebrity Sightings

This weekend I visited New York City, a capital for fashion, to attend the Teen Vogue Fashion U event. There I met a few really special people to the industry that I am so eager to share!

One amazing woman I met was Elaine Welteroth 
// Beauty and health director of Teen Vogue //
Elaine was so sweet, not to mention she had killer hair! We chatted for a few minutes and we talked about TVFU and her YouTube contributions to the Teen Vouge channel. She even complimented my research abilities after I made a quick comment on the hard work she goes through to make 30 videos in only 3 days, which was really cool for her to acknowledge considering I pore over ever edition of Teen Vogue! I was really excited to meet Elaine and was so happy to have talked to her.

Next, I got the chance to meet
// Teen Vogue's Style Blogger and Style Features Director, Andrew Bevan //
I love his segment Breakfast With Bevan on the Teen Vogue YouTube account so I was thrilled to have talked with him briefly! He was even nice enough to walk me out! He had such a bubbly personality and it really rubbed off on me! The next day at the seminars he gave some really amazing advise to us aspiring in fashion and was one of my favorites of the day.
Despite my previous thoughts of him, he turned out to be a really nice guy!
Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to have breakfast with him (hehe)

Lastly, but certainly not least!
// Jourdan Dunn, British Fashion Model //
This was probably the most nervous moment of my life! Jourdan Dunn is positively one of my favorite models, as I have mentioned before, so obviously when I saw her searching the racks of TopShop in Soho, I quite nearly fainted (Really though, she noticed I was actually shaking!)
She was so lovely and took a bunch of pictures with us!
Her makeup was flawless and she was wearing this really cool two-toned jacket!
She is so incredibly beautiful in person, so it came as a complete shock when she told me I was beautiful after I made a comment about not wanting to look idiotic in the photographs. It was really special considering she's such an inspiration for me, so a huge thank you to Jourdan Dunn!

So that's all for my fashion celebrity sightings. Stay tuned for more exciting posts about my weekend at Teen Vogue Fashion U soon to come!

Music Madnes

This month has been packed with new releases from varying artists! October has done my ears a serious justice! These were just a few things I've been constantly listening to this month while on the way to school, walking, or just relaxing and I would highly recommend listening to some of it!
Enjoy!

The 1975- This band is absolutely incredible. I saw them last night at their show in Boston and their blend of indie rock and chilled vibes was a recipe for a perfect evening. Not only are they musically talented, but really nice boys. I had the pleasure of meeting them after the show and they were all very direct and humbling, especially the lead singer Matt Healy. He was positively mesmerizing to talk to and his drippy Manchester accent only added to his charm. I think these boys will go really far in music as they've already turned down big time offers from people like, Rihanna and the Arctic Monkeys! Definitely an album worth listening to! 
Favorite Songs: Pressure

Haim (Days Are Gone)- I love this album. It features music that some old time fans will recognize like my favorites Falling and Forever, but has some great new girl power smashes like The Wire. Their vibes are amazing!
Favorite Song: My Song 5

The Arctic Monkeys- The heavy sounds of this album are enough to make anyone feel completely bad, in all the right ways. I like to listen to this on my way to school, It gives me a confident boost for today.
 Favorite Song: Wanna Be Yours
Drake (Nothing Was The Same)- The wait was definitely worth it for this album. Drake slays in every track and continues to hold his claim of being one of the best rappers of this generation. It's smooth and good to relax to.
Favorite Song: Wu-Tang Forever

Ellie Goulding (Halycon)- At first I was really hesitant to get this album because I wasn't sure about my feelings about Ellie Goulding, but after hearing her single Burn, I just had to. That still is the best song on the album for me but the album is amazing song-to-song. It's never dull and the sounds are new and fresh. Such a good one.
Favorite Song: Ritual

Ariana Grande (Yours Truly)- This is a very sugary, feel good kind of album. Although, it is really different from the singles released from the album, it still doesn't disappoint. Her vocal ranges are ridiculously impressive and I love the sweet sound of her voice. It reminds me a lot of old New York and Broadway, which is really new and inventive.
Favorite Song: Better Left Unsaid

Miley Cyrus (Bangerz)- Been listening to this non-stop since it's debut yesterday! As expected this album is completely crazy (but in an amazing, party, wild kind of way)! She does the unexpected and fixed up a smash pop album.
Favorite Song: Love, Money, Party ft. Big Sean

Foy Vance (Joy of Nothing)- This is album is perfect for a night in, snuggling in your blankets and drinking tea. It's so relaxing. I really looking forward to see him live next week!
Favorite Song: Feel For Me

Lorde (Pure Heroine)- This album was much anticipated, as I really loved her EP- The album shows familiar songs like Royals and Tennis Court. It's a very feminine, power, album. Her voice is completely unique and it's only even more incredible when you remember she's only 16. I expect really great things from Lorde!
Favorite Song: Royals
